BEKO DIN15C20 - Initial use - 1

There might be a small amount of water left in the product after factory quality control tests. This causes no harm to the product.

4 Preparation

Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product.

Operate the product after filling it completely.

When selecting a programme, consider the table of "Programme data and average consumption values".

Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.

Water softening system

The product is equipped with a water softening system which reduces the hardness of incoming water. This system softens the supply water to a level that will allow washing the dishes with the required quality.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Water softening system - 1

The mains water hardness must be softened if it is over 7^ dH. Otherwise, hardness ions will accumulate on the dishes that are washed and may affect the washing, rinsing and drying performances of the machine.

Adjusting the water softening system

Washing, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will improve when the water softening system is adjusted correctly.

To adjust the system, first learn the water hardness in your region and adjust as indicated below.

aBEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 1Unpack the test strip.bBEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 2Open the tap and let the water flow for approx. 1 minute.c↓BEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 3Dip in the test strip into the water for 1 second.cBEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 4Take out the strip from the water and shake it.eBEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 5Wait for 1 minute.fMake the necessary adjustment according to the test strip.

After detecting the water hardness:

  1. After turning on your machine, press and hold the Delayed Start and Start/Pause/Cancel keys respectively.
  2. Using the Delayed Start key, turn on LEDs 9 and 3.
  3. Use the function keys to adjust the water hardness level.
  4. Press On / Off key to save the setting.

Water hardness level adjustment table

Hardness LevelEnglish Water Hardness °dEGerman Water Hardness °dHFrench* Water Hardness °dFWater Hardness Level Indicator
Level 00-5 0-4 0-8On the 1^st level, the 1^st programme LED turns on.
Level 16-9 5-7 9-13
Level 210-15 8-1214-22On the 2^nd level, the 2^nd programme LED turns on.
Level 316-19 13-1523-27 On the3 ^rd level, the 3^rd programme LED turns on.
Level 420-24 16-1928-34 On the4 ^th level, the 4^th programme LED turns on.
Level 525-62 20-5035-90On the 5^th level, the 1^st , 2^nd , 3^rd and 4^th programme LEDs turn on.

If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 50^ dH or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use filter and water purification devices. If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 7^ dH, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt Indicator light on the control panel of your dishwasher will light continuously. If the water hardness is set to level 1, the Salt Indicator will light continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adjusting the water softening system - 6

When moving, you will need to set the water hardness level of your dishwasher again according to the information above, depending on the water hardness of the place you have moved to.

If the water hardness level of your machine is adjusted previously, your machine will display the most recent hardness level adjustment.

Adding salt

Water softening system needs to be regenerated in order for the product operates with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 1

Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 2

It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 3

Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine.

  1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add softening salt.
  2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counterclockwise to open it (A).

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 4

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical device with a circular component and directional arrow, no visible text or symbols
  1. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use.
  2. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 5

natural_image Close-up of a hand pouring liquid into a conical flask on a machine (no text or symbols visible)

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 6

You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir.

  1. Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 7

You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest program.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding salt - 8

Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine.

Detergent

You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Detergent - 1

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

Adding detergent

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding detergent - 1

Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding detergent - 2

Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. There is the risk of explosion!

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine as illustrated below.

  1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A). (depends on model)

  1. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding detergent - 5

Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm ^3 of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm ^3 or 25 cm ^3 level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Adding detergent - 6

text_image 25 cm³ 15 cm³

Preparation

  1. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Preparation - 1

Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

Tablet detergents

In addition to the conventional tablet detergents, there are also commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain special-purpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (21°dH). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together

with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.

The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.
Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.
Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing programme is over when using a tablet detergent.

When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:

  1. Make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
  2. Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
  3. After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level so as to suit the water supply.
  4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

Rinse aid

BEKO DIN15C20 - Rinse aid - 1

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination that aims to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or lime stains on the washed items. For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.

  1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Rinse aid - 2

  1. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, level must be increased and if there is a blue trace after wiping them by hand, it must be decreased. This is set to position 3 as factory default.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Rinse aid - 5

The rinse aid adjustment is described under "Adjusting the amount of rinse aid" in the section for operating the machine.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Rinse aid - 6

Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.

Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher

  • Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.
  • Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces that are not resistant to heat, as well as copper and tin-plated containers in the dishwasher.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher - 1

Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminium and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher just as it happens in handwashing as well. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull in time. We strongly recommend you to check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing especially in the dishwasher.

Placing the dishes into the dishwasher

You can use your dishwasher in the optimum way with respect to energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way.

  • Wipe away any coarse food remnants (bones, seeds, etc.) on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
  • Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible.
  • Place the heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
  • Place the hollowed dishes such as bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. Thus, accumulation of water in deep hollows is prevented.

BEKO DIN15C20 - Placing the dishes into the dishwasher - 1

text_image Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle

To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service fork, bread knife, etc. upside down so as their pointed ends will face down or they will lie horizontally in the dish basket.

Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.

The guarantee starts from the date of original purchase of the product for a period of twelve (12) months unless Beko plc (the "Manufacturer") agrees to extend the guarantee for the product in writing. If you have any questions about the guarantee on your product (including how long it is valid), please contact your retailer or our Call Centre on 0333 207 9710.

This guarantee does not in any way diminish or affect your statutory rights in connection with the product. This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer. If you have any questions about these rights, please contact the retailer from which you purchased the product. In certain circumstances, it is possible that your statutory rights may offer additional or higher levels of protection than those offered under the terms of this guarantee.

What is covered by this guarantee?

  • Repairs to the product required as a result of faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
  • Functional replacement parts to repair a product.
  • The costs of a Beko Approved Engineer to carry out the repair.

What is not covered?

• Transit and delivery damage.
- Cabinet or appearance parts, including but not limited to control knobs, flaps and handles.

- Installation or use of a product where such installation or use fails to meet the requirements contained in this guarantee or the User Instructions Booklet.
- Repairs to a product operated at any time on commercial or non-residential household premises (unless we have previously agreed to the installation environment).

This guarantee is limited to the cost of repairing the product. To the extent permitted by law, the Manufacturer does not accept and will not be held liable for any financial loss incurred in connection with the failure of any product to operate in accordance with the expected standards. Such financial loss includes but is not limited to loss arising from:

  • Time taken off work.
  • Damaged food, clothing or other items.

Important Notes

  • Your product is designed and built for domestic household use only.
  • The guarantee will automatically be void if the product is installed or is used in commercial or non-residential domestic household premises, unless we have previously agreed to the installation environment.
  • The product must be correctly installed, located and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in the User Instructions Booklet provided with your product.
  • Professional installation by a qualified Electrical Domestic Appliance Installer is recommended for all Washing Machines, Dishwashers and Electric Cookers (as incorrect installation may result in you having to pay for the cost of repairing the product).
  • Gas Cookers must be professionally installed by a Gas Safe (or Gas Networks Ireland for Republic of Ireland) registered gas installer.
  • This guarantee is given in respect of products purchased and used within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
  • This guarantee is effective from the initial date of purchase of a new product from an authorised retailer and will be void if the product is resold.
  • This guarantee does not apply to graded sales (where the product is purchased as a "second").
  • Possession of a copy of these terms and conditions does not necessarily mean that a product has the benefit of this guarantee. If you have any questions, please call our Call Centre on the number set out above.
  • The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if its staff or representatives are subjected to physical or verbal abuse in the course of carrying out their duties.
  • Optional extras, where available (i.e. extendable feet) are supplied on a chargeable basis only.

Does Beko offer replacements?

This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.

When will the repair take place?

Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.

Will there be any charge for the repairs?

It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:

  • You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
  • Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
  • That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
  • That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
  • For missed appointments.

Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts, save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.

If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law and the Irish courts will have jurisdiction.
